Reply to comment by primarysrc in European economies have developed stronger anti-trust regulations, more competitive markets, and more robust consumer protection than the US in the last 20 years. The reason for this is the EU. EU member states are incentivized to empower a strongly independent pro-competition regulator. by smurfyjenkins

Almost certainly the latter. But in case you wanted to read the article I googled the title of the article and got this working paper from 2018. Same abstract. This works like half the time for me, when it doesn’t work it’s usually some article posted by an actual university laboratory posted to Nature or something. Economic/social articles and ones made by think tank-ish orgs usually leak out through other channels.

Have fun!

I appreciate the article link and will try to read it. It's pretty dense and long but does have some data and models it uses to make its claims. The difference between the level of discourse in the paper vs what is being discussed in these comments is stark.
